+gallery
+=======
+
+This is gallery software designed to maintain a shadow structure
+of your filesystem, in which you can attach metadata to your media,
+and query your collections in various ways.
+
+All media is content-addressed by its SHA-1 hash value, and at your option
+also perceptually hashed. Duplicate search is an essential feature.
+
+Prerequisites: Go, ImageMagick v7, xdg-utils
+
+The gallery is designed for simplicity, and easy interoperability.
+sqlite3, curl, jq, and the filesystem will take you a long way.
+
+The intended mode of use is running daily automated sync/thumbnail/dhash/tag
+batches in a cron job, or from a system timer. See _test.sh_ for usage hints.
